Finally A New Years Resolution That Keeps Itself

We’d be willing to bet that this is not the first “New Year’s Resolution” post you’ve read this week.

Estimates indicate that 45% of American adults make at least one resolution each year.According to Dr. Jim Taylor’s research, fewer than half of these people stick with them after six months and after a year that number declines to around ten percent.So it’s no wonder that the $2.5 billion self-help industry offers no shortage of advice on how to stick with your resoluton(s).

Advice about “pinpointing obstacles,” “setting clear goals,” and the like is well-intentioned, but it's hard to argue with the data that indicates that only one-in-ten adults manages to stick with their resolution for over a year.
